All the equipments, which are necessary for music, are called music gear. Music gear again can be of two types. Some of them are acoustic and some of them are electronic. In this article, we will talk about the electronic music gear.

Electronic music gears are the ones that work electrically. All the electronic instruments, like, electric guitars, synthesizers, octo pads are kind of electronic music gears. But they are not all. Amplifiers, microphones, tools that are used in sound studios also fall in this category.

Here is a small description of different electronic music gears:

Electric guitar

It is a very important music gear. This instrument has a pick up. Once you plug in the instrument with the amplifier, you will get a perfect sound, actually electric guitar do not have any unplugged sound like the acoustic guitar. It has got a completely different sound. It has a sound, which is metallic. But you can make an acoustic tone in an electric guitar with the help of a processor. You need the pick up and the amplifier to produce its sound.

Synthesizer

Synthesizer is a complete electronic gear. It does not have any acoustic version. You need the electricity to run this instrument. Synthesizer does not have any sound of its own. It only copies the sound of other instruments and delivers that particular sound.

Octopads

Octopads are the electrical version of drums. They are small, easy to handle and are able to change its tone. The best thing about them is that as they are small and the player does not need to take along many percussion instruments with him. Many of those effects are available in the instrument.

Amplifiers

These are very important electronic music gear, without which not a single professional music show can be staged. Amplifiers are the one, which deliver the sound of all instruments and vocal and make the sound reach to audience in every corner.

Microphones

Microphones and amplifiers are very much interrelated. Microphones are a special kind of gear that enhance the sound and tone of the vocalists and instruments. Actually, microphone captures the sound and sends that to the audience. This is almost like the amplifiers. But the amplifier cannot capture the sound directly. It comes from the microphone. It just delivers the sound.

Processor

This particular gadget is mainly used with the guitar. Processor is a box where different tones and effects are stored. If you attach it with the guitar, then the guitarist will be able to choose those tones and effects from the processor and can play it in his guitar.

Electronic music gear is very sensitive. They need to be taken care of properly. And as they are expensive, their insurance is surely needed. These gears have a complicated handling process. Before using them, one should understand all the handling properly. For this the manuals should be read.

Indeed electric gears are very interesting. By using them, you can change the whole approach of the music. If you are a music lover, then you will not be able to stop yourself from getting fond of electronic music gears.

Logic Pro and Logic Studio are very powerful DAW’s that are sold and developed by Apple. As of right now, they are created exclusively for the Mac OSX operating system and aren’t currently available for Windows-based PCs. Apple’s Logic Pro has received a lot of recent attention and market power in the electronic music arena due to the sheer power of the multiple tools available within the audio production suite.

One of the most useful tools that makes Logic so great for producing electronic music is the built-in MIDI sequencer. The MIDI sequencer within the program lets you control virtually every aspect of the MIDI notes within your songs. Along with the MIDI programming capabilities, the MIDI editor in Logic Pro is completely streamlined with the GUI interface, letting you easily edit your MIDI notes graphically as opposed to programming them manually. The MIDI sequencer is also perfectly streamlined with the Score Editor in Logic Pro, enabling you to create MIDI performances directly through the use of standard music notation.

Logic Pro’s built-in mixing console is one of the most elegantly designed and easy to use digital mixing consoles available in the music production marketplace. It’s also packed full of great options and features. It offers up to 255 discrete audio channels, which is a fairly large amount, definitely large enough for any electronic music project and offers up to 32 mix groups for things like reverbs, delays and compression tools. Not only is the digital mixer packed full of features, but it looks amazing as well. Apple has made a really great habit out of making everything it produces extremely user friendly as well as beautiful to look at. Music production is an art form, and Logic Pro reinforces the creativity involved in making electronic music by giving its users the power of nearly limitless creative potential.

One of the best things about using Logic for electronic music production is how easy and fast it is to use. Due to the fact that everything you could possibly need for music production is streamlined within the program, Logic enables you to have a completely flawless recording workflow. Creating music on the fly is totally possible and easier than ever within Logic Pro. It feels like no other production program on the market gives you the flexibility and the amount of options that Logic makes available to producers and musicians.

Although the learning curve for Logic is slightly longer than other music production programs, once you get the hang of it, Logic is one of the best DAW’s for electronic music production, up there with other popular programs like Ableton Live and Pro Tools. In the future, expect to see more electronic musicians and artists make the switch to Logic Pro for their songwriting and music production.

Hello all readers of this article! I bid you welcome into the fascinating world of electronic music! Have you ever heard a genre of electronic music and thought “wow, I really like this and want to know more!”?

I feel the same way. Many times I’ve heard songs and wanted to know more about the origin or history, it’s roots and technical info.

There are most likely more genres of electronic music than you can imagine! House Music, Techno, Trance, D&B, Electronica, Hardcore, Disco and several others. And I’m just listing the major genres, which typically have several smaller genres, also called sub-genres.

In this article, I’m going to talk about some of the neat and interesting facts about some of the most popular genres out there. How about we start off with my favorite genre: Trance!

Trance is one of the most melodic and upbeat genres out there. It can make you feel euphoric and just plain happy. But depending on the artist’s desire, it can also make you sad, and perhaps even turn the philosopher’s side of your mind on! Trance is a very powerful genre and can have many effects on the mind.

Did you know, when Trance first came out, it was actually used to put people into a state of trance? Music like this however is no longer being produced. It originated out of Germany during the early 1990s. That’s where the first trance sounds could be heard.

Another one of my favorite genres is House music! Now, you’ve all heard of disco, right? Well, house derived from that, or in another way, it evolved from it. House music has many of the same qualities as disco music, keeping the 4/4 pattern, many of the same basslines and its danceable groove.

House came into being during the early 1980s; right after disco went under due to the “Disco Demolition Night” in the United States at the end of the 1970s. The mayor of Chicago name August 10th 2005 “House Unity Day” in memorization of the first house record label created 21 years before this date.

Do you know a genre that can really kick your socks off? That’s right, Hardcore! Hardcore music can come in several different shape and sounds, but one thing they all have in common in the fast, energetic feel to them. Most genres of hardcore music have a tempo of 160-180 beats per minute, making this the fastest major genre around.

One of the more interesting aspects of this music is that, with the amount of sub-genres hardcore has; it can really take on a lot of different forms. Happy Hardcore for example is fast and heavy, but gives a feeling of happiness and warmth. Darkcore on the other hand is the complete opposite, when it comes to the feeling of the music, giving off an angry, dark atmosphere.

Okay, I’m going to very gently kick this article to a finish with the genre, Ambient. Ambient is like no other genre of electronic music. It’s one that is quite interesting, to say the least. In this genre, the producers seek atmosphere, not dance-quality. For this reason, most forms of Ambient will have nearly no form or structure, no steady pattern or percussion.

Field recordings are also an interesting and usually necessary part of Ambient. It’s where producers go outside to a place they want to capture the essence of, and record the nature, and all of its sounds. This is one of the earliest genres of electronic music, having been created during the early parts of the 1970s in the United Kingdom.

Well, there you have it, just a few genres of electronic music. Have you learned anything new? Perhaps your favorite genre wasn’t in this small article? Well, make sure to check the resource box for all of this information and more! In closing, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read this post. Have a beautiful, music-filled day!
